How to clean fabric sofas
When planning to purchase a fabric sofa, it's essential to consider several aspects to ensure easy maintenance and longevity:
Key Considerations:
-
Removable Cushion Covers: Choose a sofa with removable covers for the back and seat cushions. This feature allows for easy cleaning and helps maintain the sofa in good condition.
-
Fixed Seat Cushions: Many sofa beds come with fixed seat cushions. If you want to clean the cushion covers regularly, ensure they are removable and can be washed.
-
Washing: Before washing the cushion covers, check if the manufacturer allows washing. If you do wash them, it's recommended to do so in a gentle hand-wash mode. Be sure to put the covers back on while they are damp, as they may shrink when drying.
-
Dry Cleaning: If the sofa's fabric cannot be washed, it’s best to opt for dry-cleaning services specifically designed for fabric cleaning.
-
Quick Cleaning: Mūzas Istaba recommends always keeping a fabric cleaner handy for quickly removing stains from wine, juice, or food.
-
Fabric Protector: If you purchase new soft furniture, it's advisable to treat it with a fabric protector, which will help repel moisture and dirt.
-
Eco-Friendly Products: Fabric cleaners and protectors are also available in eco-friendly formulations that do not contain harmful fumes. If you choose commercially treated fabric, be aware that it may produce chemical fumes, so extra caution should be taken for those with allergies.
-
Recommendations: Mūzas Istaba suggests using fabric cleaners and protectors from Guardian manufacturers, known for their quality.
